Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1887, 12pp. Wrps. VG. Read before the Ohio Teachers' Association, at Akron, Ohio, June 29, 1887. Reprinted from the Ohio Educational Monthly. The act passed unanimously by the Congress of the Confederation of the United States on July 13, 1787, entitled An Ordinance for the Government of the Ter…ritory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio, was a sweeping piece of legislation, arguably the most important since the Declaration of Independence. It established the precedent by which the United States would expand westward across North America; namely, by the admission of new states, rather than by the expansion of existing states. It banned slavery in the territory, thus setting the stage for the free state/slave state controversy that would be one of the factors leading to the American Civil War. The civil rights provisions of the ordinance foreshadowed the Bill of Rights. In addition, the Ordinance took notice of the rights of Native American Indians residing in certain areas.
